Dang Thai Son, one of the world’s leading pianists, will hold a concert in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in December.
Son was the first Asian to receive the First Prize and Gold Medal at
the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1980. Now he
lives in Canada , but he returns to Vietnam almost every year.
The concert is part of the International Piano Festival which will
open on December 2 in HCM City and December 4 in Hanoi.
This will be the first time Son performs works from Vietnamese composers
Do Hong Quan and Dang Huu Phuc besides those of Claude Debussy and
Francis Poulenc.
Young talented pianist Luu Hong Quang, who has
studied at the Australian International Conservatory of Music and won a
number of prizes at international contests, will join Son’s performance
for the first time.-VNA
